interesting thoughts, and i agree. most users including me work around these "bugs" of their browers (all in a different way) because they got used to it...

only to find that your browser has thrown away all of the changes you made to the form for some perverse reason. This really sucks when you've spent 45 minutes composing a reply...

i know what you're talking about... =)

i still hope someday there will be a browser that

• doesn't throw away form input, like lynx
• but has graphics and is still fast, like opera
• lets me edit textareas with $EDITOR, like lynx
• is extendible and can be configured, like firefox

to all browser developers: i would pay for such a browser =)
